I’m having some problems with both the calendar and the news feed both sticking at “Loading…” Here is what my mirror page looks like currently, weather and forecast load fine, but calendar and news feeds do not. The same problem occurs with the default, unmodified config.js as well I’ve run both the default new york times feeds and US holidays ICS through other applications, and both work just fine outside of magicmirror. I’m able to ping both the nytimes.com and calendarlabs.com from the pi successfully, so I don’t think I’m having internet problems I’m a bit stumped on this one, Thanks in advance!

Any known way to set this in the config or rules, setting it to rotate various modules, however retaining set modules on screen at all times? Many thanks.

Yes it’s the lower_third position it will NOT work in… something is conflicting with it.

@Cato I will look into this thanks

Hey. I wrote a small module to display the http preview of one of my IP cameras. The module simply creates an <img> tag and uses the URL of the camera as src: <img src="http://{user}:{password}@192.168.1.125/Streaming/channels/1/httpPreview" />. The URL works fine if I enter it in my browser or in a new Chromium window on the raspberry running SmartMirror. Unfortunately it does not work inside the mirror itself :/ There is only 1 error in the developer console: “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 401 (Unauthorized)”. Any hints or tipps why the URL cannot be viewed within the mirror window? – edit – If I enter the URL of the mirror in the browser of my computer, the stream works without any problems.

Or install a Cat. :)

The SSH server is enabled by default on a Raspbian image. And none of the security settings are enabled by default, leaving it to accept connections. The default login is 'pi' with password 'raspberry'. If you are unable to log in to the rpi from a remote connection with those credentials, then you are using an invalid/corrupt/hacked image. I recommend downloading it fresh from www.raspberrypi.org. The fact that you said you are using sudo to SSH into the rpi tells me you are attempting to connect from a different unix machine. Is this true? For one, you do not need sudo to issue SSH commands as a regular user. And second, where are you attempting to connect FROM?

@strawberry-3-141 Ah!Now I get it. Thank you very much for your help. :-)

ok, hit a roadblock RPI won’t be powerful enough to even be the bridge for the google visual world implementation (essentially data visualisation), i now have Thoughts? :- Mac Book Air :- Mac Book Pro 2012 :- Purchase a Mac Mini Now as the prototype for working out the software and hardware i have a feeling the Mac Book Pro would be a better use permanently as the hardware is actually 13 and SSD driven, and having no screen ideal for the use of running the system from also a powerful benchmark for future proofing the module additions.

Thanks since worked it out, was meant to remove the topic, but thanks for answering (actually i’m currently playing on the mac, awaiting the hardware (RPi).

Does amazon echo work in conjunction with magic mirror?

Hi, i have some issue with the PIR Module. It worked for testing a couple of month but now under productive operation it doesn’t :( The Screen is switched off and on correctly but after a unspecified time it doesn’t switch it on anymore, it stays black. Sometimes after an hour sometimes after a couple of minutes. The PIR itself is working correctly as i discovered, i’m also getting it’s state under FHEM and there i can see the relaible functionality of it. As i can see on the screen it doesn’t get any video input anymore. Only rebooting the PI2 will fix it. I’m not sure where to search :( Some startup log entrie doesn’t show anything. > magicmirror@2.0.0 start /home/pi/MagicMirror > electron js/electron.js Loading config ... Loading module helpers ...

@geeflaxx there must be something wrong with your whole setup. i would personally go and do it again with this instructions https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/236/complete-setup-tutorial

Ok now appears to be working…

Please post your config.js file so that we may take a look at it. Please remember to use the markdown features of the forum while you’re at it. :)

Okay, thanks to @strawberry-3-141 expert advice, I have it up and running. The code he gave me is good, the JSON file I am loading from is not. We’ve got it sorted out and now I’m loading a compliment array from a file. Woohoo!

I’d play with this if I had time… https://www.hackster.io/inmyorbit/build-a-mobile-app-that-connects-to-your-rpi-3-using-ble-7a7c2c From there go to: https://github.com/sandeepmistry/bleno#characteristic

@bhepler said in trouble with config file: Just a suggestion: Try replacing that location id of locationID: '23' with locationID: '2173741'. that fixed it for me thanks. i guess using the map to get the ID for my location wasn’t the right ID. Thank you everyone for your help my config file is the way i want it and it runs without any errors.
